I'm slowly turning my back garden into a wildlife friendly place. Any new plants I buy have to pollinator approved. I get loads of bees and insects now.

Bird drama this evening. I've previously said that a pair of blackbirds have been building a nest in a bush in my garden. I don't know if it's got eggs in it yet as I don't want to go poking around to have a look.

While I was dishing up our tea, a jackdaw landed on the fence. Both Mr and Mrs Blackbird went absolutely apeshit about it. They chased the jackdaw away and then spent about five mins strutting about yelling their heads off. Even though they're much smaller birds, they're so fiercely protective.

We have a family of blackbirds in our garden. The chics usually can’t fly for 2 or 3 days after they come out the nest and are susceptible to predators. When the local sparrowhawk is around I’m out flapping my arms and chasing him away!
